I love that we can schedule all the field trips we want in homeschool. The one-field-trip per year in public school was never enough for us kids. We look forward to those field trips as if they were gold. Now with homeschooling, we don’t have to stick to only one trip. Now if only we can find some FREE field trips, we would be good to go.

How We Find Free Field Trips

When I first started homeschooling, I loved the idea of being able to take field trips whenever we saw fit. I had thoughts of taking my kids to the coolest places in the area. Well, after the first year of homeschooling and budgeting, we quickly find out that it’s not the easiest thing to go on field trips whenever we can schedule them.

That first year, was quite expensive. We had to revamp our homeschool in order for my husband to still be on board with me to continue. I had to make changes and fast. Unfortunately, we couldn’t keep doing the trips we were doing and still keep to our homeschool budget for the year. I went overboard, but I learned.

Over the years I have found some pretty cool ways to still have field trips but ones that won’t break the bank or cost anything at all. I am not in America, so it got a little easier for me when we moved here to save on field trips. Honestly, because there aren’t many places to go accept the beach – and my kids love the beach. So, that is a win!

BUT – for those of you in the United States or other first world countries like Australia or the U.K., there are so many places to go that it would be just sad to not take advantage of at least some of them. This article will give you some insight into how their family learned about FREE field trips from an app called Field Trip. You won’t want to miss it.
